Possible Causes of Hand Knots

A knot in the middle of the hand can stem from various conditions. If it’s visible, it could indicate:

• Dupuytren’s Contracture
• Tendon Inflammation
• Trigger Finger
• Less commonly, a Ganglion or Synovial Cyst

When Pain Accompanies the Knot

If the knot is accompanied by wrist and thumb soreness, potential causes include:

• Arthritis in the First CMC Joint (base of the thumb)
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, with a pinched nerve at the wrist referring pain to the palm.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough physical examination and possibly additional tests like an ultrasound or EMG. Once the cause is identified, targeted treatment can alleviate the discomfort and restore hand function.
